INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

IP.

Protection Is Structured Around Technology, Know-How and Defined Rights.

Pharmact’s IP position combines patent rights and applications, proprietary know-how and contractual controls around D016 and relevant development pathways. Public information is separated from confidential technical and transaction-level disclosure.

Protection layer and disclosure level are not the same thing.

PROTECTION ARCHITECTURE

IP Is More Than a Patent Number.

The protection position around D016 is built from multiple legal and technical layers. Each layer has a different function and a different disclosure threshold.

01 · PATENTS & APPLICATIONS

Claim-Based Legal Protection

Granted patents and pending applications may protect defined technology, compositions, methods, processes or applications, depending on the claims, jurisdiction and current legal status.

Patent scope is determined by the applicable claims – not by a website description.
02 · PROPRIETARY KNOW-HOW

Technical Knowledge Beyond Publication

Protected value may also reside in sequence-related know-how, manufacturing, purification, analytics, formulation, quality documentation and application-specific development knowledge.

Not all commercially relevant know-how is or should be publicly disclosed.
03 · CONTRACTUAL CONTROL

Rights Defined by Agreement

Confidentiality, supply, licensing, co-development and transaction agreements define the rights, disclosure scope and permitted use applicable to a specific partner relationship.

Access to material or information does not itself grant IP rights.

DISCLOSURE LEVELS

Protected Does Not Mean Publicly Disclosed.

Information is provided at the level appropriate to the purpose, qualification and contractual stage of the discussion.

PUBLIC

High-Level Position

Public patent publications, high-level technology positioning, public scientific evidence and general partnering information.

QUALIFIED & CONFIDENTIAL

Technical / Legal Review

Selected technical documentation, current patent schedules, ownership and status information, relevant legal context and project-specific information under an appropriate confidentiality framework.

TRANSACTION-SPECIFIC

Due Diligence Scope

Detailed chain-of-title, jurisdiction and status review, relevant agreements, claim-level assessment and other information required for a defined licensing, co-development or strategic transaction.

Rights and disclosures are defined by agreement – not inferred from access to material or information.

LEGAL DISTINCTIONS

Patent Protection ≠ Freedom to Operate ≠ License.

These concepts answer different legal questions and should not be treated as interchangeable.

01

Patent Protection

Defines rights arising from granted patent claims and the potential scope of pending applications in the relevant jurisdiction.

A patent does not by itself provide an unrestricted right to practice a technology.
02

Freedom to Operate

Assesses relevant third-party rights for a defined product, use, jurisdiction and point in time. FTO is context-specific and may require updating as facts or rights change.

FTO is a legal assessment, not a guarantee and not an ownership right.
03

License

Creates contractual permission to use defined rights within an agreed field, territory, application, development program or commercialization scope.

A license grants only the rights expressly agreed.

CURRENT PUBLIC POSITION

Portfolio Detail Follows Current Legal Verification.

Pharmact maintains an international IP and know-how position around D016 and relevant applications. Detailed patent schedules are controlled legal and due-diligence material and are reviewed for current status, ownership, jurisdiction and scope before transaction use.

Public disclosure principle. Patent references are based on the current legal record. Patent status, ownership and claim scope are verified before detailed public or transaction-specific disclosure.
PORTFOLIOInternationalMultiple jurisdictions and protection layers

TECHNICAL DIFFERENTIATION & IP

Technical Differentiation and Patent Scope Are Related – but Not Identical.

D016’s designed PH20-like / HYAL4-like dual-activity profile is a key technical differentiating feature of the platform.

The existence and scope of patent protection are determined by the claims and legal status of each relevant patent or application. Technical differentiation alone is not a statement of patent coverage, enforceability or freedom to operate.
